About me - Sebastian Talon

I have met only a few of my fellow Helium Writers since I've joined the site a few years ago. Of course, I had problems with Internet access for a while, but that problem is now solved. I am here almost everyday and hope to meet and talk with many of you.

Education > Education (Other) Should public schools offer courses in the Bible?: 2 of 57

The question of whether public schools should offer courses in the Bible, should not really be a question, at all. Simply put, there is no reason why they should not. I know....many of you will say that the "Separation of Church and State" prohibits public school systems from teaching religion. No matter how many rulings the...
Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles Tips for men approaching women online: 1 of 23

The face of dating has changed. It used to be that men had to go to the supermarket, church, or the nearest bar, and hope that he could meet the woman of his dreams there. Or, at the least, one who wanted to go home with him for some fun. Today, there are any number of web sites that make it convenient to meet women online; ...
Health & Fitness > Nutrition & Health Issues Healthy eating: An individual choice or government responsibility?: 2 of 42

Why is it that there seem to be so many people who are willing to give up every choice they have to the government? Government, by nature, takes more from those governed than it is willing to give. A democratic government is tempered by the governed, but still is an unwholesome influence. And yet, there seem to be plenty tha...
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Can God and Darwinism coexist?: 6 of 109

Can God and Darwinism coexist? In all honesty, these two concepts already coexist. While one came before the other, as humans have built upon our knowledge of our world, nothing from theory has actually contradicted the other. The major point of contention is the creation of the universe. Darwinism, or Evolution, claims a co...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: 10 things I hate about the world we live in: 16 of 230

Ooh...such a juicy topic to tackle. The top 10 things I hate about the world we live in are: 1. That Money, or those that have it, seem to be the only thing that most of the people in the world respect. Why is it that the accumulation of wealth is so important? 2. That universal education is not the norm, but a privilege for...

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Is God relevant in today's world?: 1 of 11

Is God relevant in today's world? Relevant is defined as: "closely connected or appropriate to the matter at hand" by the New Oxford American Dictionary. It appears that the "matter at hand" is today's world. So, let's take a look at today's world, shall we? The world today exists in a state of chaos, caused by the various r...
Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Conflict in Iraq: Is it possible to support the troops but not the war?: 5 of 39

Conflict in Iraq: Is it possible to support the troops but not the war? My answer to this is yes, it is possible to support the troops but not the war. However, not supporting the war shows disrespect for those who have fallen in battle. Those who have given their "last measure of devotion to their country", and our freedom,...
Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Is the death penalty an effective crime deterrent?: 5 of 36

I do not have any idea why I decided to tackle the topic: Is the Death Penalty an effective crime deterrent? The bald face truth is, I hate the necessity of the Death Penalty laws, but without them, life would be even more of a hell than it is now. Let me explain myself before you start tearing me a new one, though, okay? Th...
Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures The culture of drugs and its devastating effects: 3 of 21

The culture of drugs and its devastating effects I most certainly will not deny that drugs CAN be devastating. I've seen enough people who were truly addicted to know the kinds of things they will do, and say, to get a hit of their drug of choice. But, one of the reasons that drug use is an epidemic in this country, and many...
